- Each page should have at least one category so that one can navigate to it from the list of contents.
- The code [[Category:X]] will not create a visible link, but it will place the page into the category X instead.
- For every page Category:X, we have also the page List of X or List of X pages, containing only the line '''#redirect[[Category:X]]'''
- When you want to link the to Category:X, link to the page List of X instead.
- Category:Contents is the top level category; use it sparingly.
- A page should not be in a category and its subcategory at the same time.
- To make a page appear in the category listing in an alphabetical order other given by another string Y rather than its name X, use the code [[Category:X|Y]]. This is used used in Category:Howtos, see Help:Howtos.
